  Log:
  Revert the previous change.  Even though Intel insists that the behavior
  this change restores is wrong, it turns out the "proper" method is worse
  in practice for existing machines.  This is probably due to the fact that
  using fixed priority with a physical broadcast destination effectively
  broadcasts interrupts to all CPUs.  Fixing that would require a lot more
  work than just restoring the previous "incorrect" behavior and would
  probably be riskier as well.
